Australia: Prospects for a drama teacher.:

What age group do you want to teach - kids or adults? In what state? We are moving over (fingers crossed) next year and my hubby is a 5th grade teacher. We are planning on moving to NSW and if that is your plan then I suggest you check out the NSW Dept of Education website https://www.det.nsw.edu.au/ Good luck Natalie

Australia: Declaring currency:

What is the deal with entering the country with your savings? I looked up the Australian Customs Service website and it says that you need to declare any amount over Aus $10,000. Why do we need to do that? Will it be taxed again in Australia? We are thinking that we will just send checks over to my wife's Aussie bank account before we travel, is that a legit way to do it? Any help or insight would be appreciated. Thanks

Australia: Moving w/ kids! Dealing w/ Grandparents!:

My wife and I are planning a move back to Oz (she is Australian, I am American) within 3 years from now. We are getting ourselves organized and mapping the move on a timeline, feeling challenged but confident (most of the time) and generally eager to improve our quality of life by moving to Australia. We have one daughter(18 months old) and are planning on having a second within the next 2 years. Any advice for relocationg with little ones? (not travel advice, but advice on dealing with relocation and parenting of infants at the same time!!!) Any advice for dealing with grandparents who are overseas? My wife and I are already aware of the sad fact that one set of grandparents is always away from the grandchildren, but we were just wondering if anyone else out there has dealt with this before. At this time, one set of grandparents has been in Oz while our baby has been born and living with us in the states. The Oz grandparents have been great, supportive, keeping in touch, and not spreading guilt (which is fantastic). The US grandparents have been here for the birth, able to see the little one frequently, and unfortunately pretty weird about the idea of us relocating. They are slowly coming to grips with the fact that we are going but it gets tense. If you have ANYTHING to share I would LOVE to hear from you... advice... support... horror stopries... anything!!! THANKS!!! :) -AngusDad
